Rino Higa stars as a schoolgirl named Sakura. One day after school she notices some of the men are acting very odd, and some even acting violent.
She witnesses her father savagely kill her mother and she manages to escape. After living three days in a huge pipe she encounters a woman living in a car with her now zombiefied son.
Sakura must learn to survive in a world inhabited by zombies that tear their victims apart. There are several unique acpects to this movie.
The first being that only men are changed into zombies and secondly, Sakura has some bizarre dreams which are shown to the viewer in cartoon form. Also you have a most unusual climax which I have to admit was not even predicted by me as I watched this. It comes clear out of left field.
The movie is very well acted and directed. There is a real feel of hopelessness while you watch Sakura kill zombies with her arrows and try to help a blind woman and a very odd young man in a wheelchair escape death.
I won't spoil this little epic by saying anymore, but I do recommend you see it for a very new take on zombie movies. The film is 14 years old and not very well known. In Japanese with English Subtitles.
